Product Information

Ultimate Ninja Storm lands on Xbox 360 for the first time -- in a 3D fighting adventure featuring the super-charged combat of the internationally popular manga and animated series. As in the PS3 original (as well as in earlier Ultimate Ninja games for PlayStation 2), solo players face a mission-driven journey through fan-familiar locations, with an abundance of opportunities to demonstrate their martial-arts mastery in high-velocity hand-to-hand battles. Players are also challenged by quick-time events that may help or hinder progress, and tricky boss fights to out-think and overcome.

The game's storylines and missions are set in the advanced Shippuden stages of the Naruto legend, with over 40 characters from the later chapters of the manga series. Players can explore Hidden Leaf Village in its entirety, as well as the surrounding wilderness and other important locations. Interactions with other personalities from the comic add a sense of place and purpose. Playable characters become more powerful as they move through the adventure and unlock new Jutsu and combo attacks. The game's Story Mode can be played from the perspectives of each of the game's three main characters, offering players three significantly different adventures. Two-player modes allow for head-to-head battles with a wide selection of featured characters, and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is the first in the series to also support offer online play, with facilities for random opponents, ranked matches, and private fight hosting.

The game has many good qualities to it.
- It really brings life to the anime.
- It is super fun to use all the moves and techniques used by the characters.
- The battle system with friends is really enjoyable and offers high replay value.
- The reaction commands were great too.
- Although there were minor plot details which did not adhere to the manga storyline, the altered plot line respected the original and kept it close as possible. It did not affect the main plot lines.
It does have bad points.
- The graphics need to be sharpened. Besides the background and environmental graphics (which were amazing), there were times which character models were scratchy.
- The voice sync with lip movement was okay at best. However, it was worst for American voice dubbing.

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 faithfully recreates the anime series and envelops players into the mythical world of ninja with expansive environments, missions, battle systems and gameplay modes. While there are two sides to every story, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 has three, that have players living different as well as daring ninja lives through the eyes of Naruto, Sasuke and Jiraya.
With more than 40 characters to choose from, engaging in bigger and more epic cinematic boss battles has never been this explosive. The game also delivers an improved Support Character system which allows players to link jutsus for wild ninja punishment and awards compatibility bonuses according to the strategic selection of ally recruits. To provide a true ultimate experience, the game also offers various online features where players can sharpen their skills or flex their fighting muscle to defeat rival ninja from around the world.Read full review

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is the most beautiful example of cel-shaded graphics I've ever seen. This is not hyperbole, and I have zero interest in Naruto. But I'm a firm believer in giving credit where it's due, and developer CyberConnect2 has managed to capture the feel of traditional 2D animation phenomenally well. The game looked so good, in fact, that it managed to hold my attention at last week's Namco Bandai pre-E3 event, despite the fact that there wasn't much of the game on display.
After finishing the single demo battle, which pitted me (as Naruto) against Kakashi (with some help from Sakura), I'm not quite sure what to make of the second Ultimate Ninja Storm title, which is multiplatform for the first time this generation and set to launch on the PS3 and the 360 this fall. Combat remains largely unchanged from the last Ninja Storm title on the PS3. While the presentation is excellent, the gameplay is... lean. Battles still take place in fully navigable arenas which change over time as they're destroyed by clashing ninjas, and the controls are as responsive as you might expect. However, combat is simple, with super moves and major attacks mapped to the face buttons on the gamepad (as opposed to requiring the finger gymnastics of more serious fighting titles). More than anything, I was reminded of Capcom's Dreamcast era Powerstone titles: there's more of an emphasis on over-the-top battles and experiences than the kinds of deep, rewarding combat systems players would find in more dedicated fighting games.
As Ryan Clements said in IGN's review of the first Ultimate Ninja Storm, these titles are aimed at a more casual audience. The gameplay seems predicated on showing Naruto fans what they want to see, which would be Naruto characters beating the crap out of each other with completely bizarre forms of ninja magic. In that regard, Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is more of the same. Namco Bandai didn't have anything to say about a return of the Ultimate Mission Mode from the last game, or the various mini-games that made an appearance previously, but it's likely a safe bet that they'll be back this time around. Partners are still called in with the right bumper or R1 button. There are still quick-time sequences that require the player to pound repeatedly on the face buttons during certain sequences, where failure results in a flash back to a checkpoint at the beginning of said quick-time sequence.
And that's it, really. The demo lasted about 10 minutes, long enough to impress me aesthetically but little else. For Naruto fans, Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is looking like the sequel they've likely wanted since finishing the first (and the Naruto game before that, and the game before that...), but for the rest of us, it remains to be seen if there will be more to Naruto when it revisits consoles this fall.Read full review

The story mode is probably the best representation of a manga/anime storyline I've personally seen in a video game.
The fighting system is fun, but there is so much room for improvement.
There aren't many options nor is there a training or tournament mode.
The online is probably solid, but I'm not interested in it.
The worst aspect of the game is the constant appearance of loading screens in-between every match (including versus mode).
